Steinway & Sons Grand Piano

This grand piano was made by Steinway & Sons in New York, New York, in 1857. It is one of the few known straight-strung Steinway grands, as after the cross-stringing patent of 1859, Steinway & Sons stopped making them. This piano is serial number 1199 and has a compass of AAA-a4, repetition action (probably not original), felt hammers, single-, double-, and triple-string, 2 pedals: una corda and dampers, an iron, single-piece frame, straight-strung, and a rosewood veneer case.
